On this episode of Heard Tell host Andrew comes fresh of some talking heading to talk through the reported cuts coming for Veterans Affairs, the wider push for DOGE & “efficient/smaller” government, and the rhetoric that there should not be any “sacred cows” when it comes to spending cuts. Which is fine in theory, but when it comes to entitlement programs and the optics of veterans and other classes of folks losing their jobs, benefits, and livelihoods, the politics and perception quickly changes from the buzzwords.
All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
